Cotton TO the Front

The Cotton World, in its last issue, under
takes to prove that in the commercial
world ''cotton is still king and its effort is
quite satisfactory. Prior to 1860, there was
no doubt that cotton was king. 1t occlpied
larger place in our exports than any otLer
article, and kept the balance of trade in our
favor. Immediately after the war the
yearly balance of trade was heavily against
us. This was because the South had not
got fully to work again raising cotton. Our
gold had to be sent to Europe to adjust
the trade balance. In the thirteen
years, from 1865 to 1877, the
South furnished three-fourths of all
the exports of the country,
exclusive of coin and bullion. This she did
in the face of many obstacles. The North
and West export vast quantities of bread
stuffs, provisions and dairy products and
up to 1880 their exports gradually increased.
Since that year, however, the amount of
their exports has fallen off considerably.
For that year the exports of cotton
amounted to $2l1 ,535, los, of breadstuffs
$3.50, 764, S97, and of provisions and dairy
products s132, ASS, Dol In 1886, however,
while the exports of cotton fell off only
about $780, 900, while those Of breadstuffs,
provisions and dairy products fell off over
$500, 100000. By stating the case differently
this showing is made: In 1880 the exports of
breadstuffs, provisions and dairy products
were about double those of cotton, but in
1886 the exports of cotton came within
81, 000,0 600 of being equal to those of bread
stufs, provisions and dairy products 1t be-
gins to look as if cotton were going to be
king again

COULDN'T ANSWER.
Why the Proprietor of Two Cafes On
Broadway Remains Bachelor.
From the Neuo York Ere,.iny Sun.

From the NeIo York Ereninv san.
Mr.. William Koch, who owns two cafes on
Broadway, is extremely popular When asked
the other day why he did not get married be
said that he once proposed for the hand of a
rich mans daughter, and'was put through the
following searching examination by the old gen
tleman:
l. Don't you think you are rather young to
get married?
2 What is your weekly incomel
g. How long before you will be admitted a
partner in the firm?
a. Do you expect any dowry with my daugh-
ter.
5 How many things have you at the pawn
broSers'y
6. Do you attend the races or buck the tiger?
Z. Have you any idea what it costs to support
a wifeY
Mr Koch thought this was worse than any
civil service examination and was afraid that
he had not secured very high percentage.
The old gentleman left the room and sent in his
wife, who soon began to get in her fine work:
]. How much money have you in the bank?
,. Do you love your mother and sisters?
B. Are you in the habit of staying out late at
nightg
4. Do you know how to make the kitchen fire!
5. Do you smoke, chew or drink?
9. Do you make enough to keep a servant
girlg
Z. Would You let me come and live with you
If anything should happen to my husband:
MIR. Koch felt pretty down in the mouth after
being thus raked fore and aft. He hadn't fig
ured on being scrutinized from such different
standpoints, and hadn't as good an opinion of
himself as he had few moments before. When
his charmer came down and they were alone he
began to breathe freer, but he soon found that
he wasn't yet out of the woods The girl be-
came inquisitive, and her questions, while per-
haps less disingenuous, were nevertheless rather
insinuating:
|. Don't you think you will ever be able to
raise moustache?
=. Did papa promise to furnish the house?
3. Don't you think we could be happy in
cottage by the sea in the summer?
4. You're just nice age to marry, aren't you?
8. Do you like going to the theatre?
3. Can you write poetry?
z; Do you speak to that redheaded Smith
girl any more?
